"Stunning property. Photos don't do justice to how beautiful it is. Great location - 3 min from the beach and has its own lovely beach club. We had a pool villa which overlooked the sea and was such a treat. The main hotel pool sadly doesn't have a view. In terms of points of improvement - I felt the breakfast spread was a bit one dimensional and could do with some international options. There were also some strange quirks e.g. water bottles only being dropped off once per day before 5pm."

"Hotel was clean and tidy, room was cleaned daily and linen changed every second day. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was basic continental and okay. Bathroom very small, particularly the shower (about 80cm x 80cm) and it’s difficult not to get water everywhere as there is a limited side screen and no curtain."

"I really loved the balcony and view from my room. I also really liked the rooftop pool. I want to give a special shout-out to the staff. I was having trouble getting a taxi to the airport, and the staff, at 3:30 in the morning, jumped right into action to ensure I had an airport transfer after the transfer I booked wasn’t showing up. I appreciate this dedication to customer service at such an early hour in the morning. I anticipate traveling to Kos again in the future, and I look forward to staying at Kosta’s palace again!"
